I thought we could have an official get-together of the German Donationcoder faction as well. I know I am late to the game, but let's try this anyway.

I would love to get to know the members of this great community. And at the same time I want to show off the club I do voluntary work for.

For several reasons I decided to have this take place in Berlin, our poor but sexy Capital. That means, some of the German user won't be able to make it. But they can have their regional get-together as well!

So how about we all meet on January 3rd, in the club c-base in Berlin-Mitte; about 3pm-ish?Moin!

I was surprised to discover I could follow almost everything in that announcement. Not bad for someone who only had three years of German Language in high school, and hasn't done anything with it since.

please make it stop @_@your confusing the hell out of me lolI've been living here six years and still couldnt tell you should it be Ich kann mit Deutsch vertraut noch einmal erhaltenIch kann noch einmal mit Deutsch vertraut erhaltenIch kann vertraut mit Deutsch noch einmal erhaltenororor something different again :p (in other words I'm impressed)

The meeting is over!Only one other guy was on board: urlwolf. Nevertheless we had a great 5 hours of talking about everything from coding, privacy and encryption, psychology, web services, and various other topics.

There will be definitely another meetup, probably in February.housetier said he'll organize this and urlwolf is interested in coming again.I won't make it but I'll join the next time I'll be in Berlin (probably end of May).

If there are any DCers near Stuttgart, now is the time to speak up!I'm heading back home for Stuttgart tomorrow and if there's interest and people we can meet up at a bar, have a couple of drinks and just chat.

mouser asked for pictures and here they are!As you can see, there's plenty of room on board the c-base space station for bigger meetups.
